There were several changes that took place in Britain during
the mid-1800s and these had a huge impact on their society. It was beginning of the Agricultural and Industrial
Revolution. Development of the seed
drill by Jethro Tull enabled the planting of seeds to be done faster and this
led to more produce. The Industrial
Revolution led to the growth of industries which later led to the rise of
cities causing a shift from rural to urban living. It also brought to attention the plight of
the poor and the dangers of child and women labor. This brought not only economic but social
changes as well.
